AQ Skin Solutions is all about nature, nurture and the science of modern skincare.

It’s a range of six specialised anti-ageing products which includes the Recovery Serum, Active Serum, Eye Serum, AQ Lash, Hair Complex and the Vaginal Rejuvenation System, each gently fragranced with botanical oils such as bergamot and honeysuckle extract, and each designed to take years off.

The range is the brainchild of Dr Ahmed Al-Qahtani, an immunologist who has worked extensively in the field of growth factor biotechnology. We’re getting into the sciencey bit here: the body’s growth factors can be found in microscopic amounts in every human cell, and they do just what their name suggests: stimulate various types of growth and ­regeneration.

AQ Skin Solutions was originally discovered through wound healing and cell regeneration therapy in victims of third degree burns, with victims left with almost no scarring.

There are six products in the range, all available over the counter except the Recovery Serum which works in conjunction with the AQ Skin Solutions’ microneedling treatments. This is available at the Jill Zander Skin Rejuvenation Clinic in Esher.
